More than 13,000 of the publisher's titles will be available to reach on the service, with users having the option to store six comics at a time on their device to read offline via a 'borrow' function synced to the Marvel comiXology app.

The report notes that US readers can purchase a subscription for $10 a month or $60 per year, but details of a launch in other territories were not revealed.

Marvel confirmed that the Unlimited subscription service will be rolled out for Android devices following its iOS debut.
